The JavaService utility allows Java applications to run automatically in the background as system services on Windows NT-type environments.

The original public distribution of this software was provided by Alexandria Software Consulting. The last version available from that supplier was 1.2.0, available under a BSD-style licence

Subsequently, enhancements were incorporated into the software by Multiplan Consultants and three further releases (1.2.1, 1.2.2 and 1.2.3) were made available for download from the company sites.

The JavaService software is now hosted by the ObjectWeb source forge as a permanent location for future releases of this extremely useful utility software.

The historical and current releases (1.2.0 through to 1.2.3) of the software are now available for download from the project page within the ObjectWeb forge. See http://javaservice.objectweb.org for details.
